Book excerpt: A band of misfits boards an airship to search for utopia, in this novel by the author of The Balloonist, a National Book Award finalist: “A delight” (Philip Pullman, author of The Amber Spyglass). An unemployed American metaphysician, a perpetually ill English nurse, a guilt-ridden German captain—they and a handful of others are about to board an airship called The League of Nations. Under the seductive spell of Moira, a mix of mystic, cult leader, and prophet, these haunted men and broken women will go in search of a mysterious polar promised land—but the journey may not take them where they expect it to . . . Set in the years after the First World War, this is a uniquely imaginative novel from an author praised by the Chicago Tribune as “a gifted craftsman, a meticulous writer whose powers as a storyteller are as compelling as the sexual tensions he imagines.” “His sympathy for such a range of characters in their crazinesses, their various kinds of loneliness, their sheer comedy is wonderful. I think it’s one of his very best.” —Philip Pullman, author of The Amber Spyglass “As stirring and beautiful as one of the airships that MacDonald Harris so obviously delighted in . . . Witty, sexy, surprising, and so generous to his cast of crackpots and con-artists and heartsore seekers.” —Owen King, author of Double Feature “[The author] weaves a magical web of words in his narrative of mysticism, séances and a dirigible named The League of Nations . . . The action is inspired and written in undeniably gorgeous prose.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1962, a Hiroshima peace delegation and an Auschwitz survivor's organization exchanged relics and testimonies, including the bones and ashes of Auschwitz victims. This symbolic encounter, in which the dead were literally conscripted in the service of the politics of the living, serves as a cornerstone of this volume, capturing how memory was utilized to rebuild and redefine a shattered world. This is a powerful study of the contentious history of remembrance and the commemoration of the atomic bomb in Hiroshima in the context of the global development of Holocaust and World War II memory. Emphasizing the importance of nuclear issues in the 1950s and 1960s, Zwigenberg traces the rise of global commemoration culture through the reconstruction of Hiroshima as a 'City of Bright Peace', memorials and museums, global tourism, developments in psychiatry, and the emergence of the figure of the survivor-witness and its consequences for global memory practices.

Book excerpt: An inventive historical novel that delves into the mysteries of gender identity, from the National Book Award–nominated author of The Balloonist. With a foreword by Michael Chabon As a child in Southern California at the dawn of the twentieth century, Herma exhibits an incredible talent for vocal mimicry. Her gift will eventually take her from the choir of her country church to the Paris Opera, thanks in no small part to the machinations of her daredevil agent. But there is a secret at the heart of their intimate relationship, in this opulent rags-to-riches tale full of excitement, sexual intrigue, and decadence, with cameos by Puccini and Proust, among others. “Set in the first decades of the twentieth century, Harris’ teeming novel explores the porous boundaries of gender identity. This inventive work will appeal to readers who are interested in the dual-gender theme. Opera lovers will also be intrigued.” —Booklist “Once I open any of MacDonald Harris’s novels I find it almost impossible not to turn and read on, so delightful is the sensation of a sharp intelligence at work.” —Philip Pullman, author of The Amber Spyglass

Book excerpt: A man enters an abandoned movie theater and emerges in the wonderland of 1920s Los Angeles in this “ingeniously plotted” time travel adventure (Kirkus Reviews, starred review). Alys is a wealthy young dilettante in 1980s Los Angeles when he runs into the mysterious Nesselrode—who leads him into the catacombs of an empty movie house, from which he emerges in a black-and-white fantasia. This is a Los Angeles on the verge of becoming itself, a place where silent films dominate the landscape, and Alys soon finds his home in the pictures and falls in love with the seductive siren Moira Silver. But as he becomes bewitched by old Hollywood, his previous life grows more and more distant, and Alys may soon wind up trapped. Alys’s journey down the rabbit hole makes for an enthralling literary adventure from the author of The Balloonist, a National Book Award finalist and “an elegant and fastidious writer” (The New York Times Book Review). “Life and art become strangely and gloriously confused when Harris’ narrator, Alys, does some time traveling and falls in love with a star of the silent screen . . . Lyrically written.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Joanna Macy is a scholar of Buddhism, systems thinking, and deep ecology whose decades of writing, teaching, and activism have inspired people around the world. In this collection of writings, leading spiritual teachers, deep ecologists, and diverse writers and activists explore the major facets of Macy’s lifework. Combined with eleven pieces from Macy herself, the result is a rich chorus of wisdom and compassion to support the work of our time. “Being fully present to fear, to gratitude, to all that is—this is the practice of mutual belonging. As living members of the living body of Earth, we are grounded in that kind of belonging. Even when faced with cataclysmic changes, nothing can ever separate us from Earth. We are already home.”— Joanna Macy
